EtherQoSQueue

Package: inet.linklayer.ethernet

EtherQoSQueue

compound module

Queue module that gives the PAUSE frames a higher priority, and can be parametrized with an IOutputQueue for serving the other frames.

classifier : EtherFrameClassifier

Simple classifier, that forwards EtherPauseFrames to the pauseOut gates, and other frames to the...

Source:
classifier: EtherFrameClassifier {
    @display("p=46,145");
} pauseQueue : DropTailQueue

Drop-tail queue, to be used in network interfaces.

Source:
pauseQueue: DropTailQueue {
    queueName = "pauseQueue";
    @display("p=187,91");
} dataQueue : like IOutputQueue

IOutputQueue: Prototype for output queues.

Source:
dataQueue: <dataQueueType> like IOutputQueue {
    parameters:
        @display("p=187,192;q=l2queue");
} scheduler : PriorityScheduler

This module implements a strict priority scheduler.

Source:
scheduler: PriorityScheduler {
    @display("p=318,145");
}

Used in compound modules

Name Type Description
EtherHost compound module

An example host with one Ethernet port and a traffic generator that generates request-reply traffic directly over Ethernet. This host model does not contain higher layer protocols (IP, TCP). By default it is configured to use half-duplex MAC (CSMA/CD).

EtherHost2 compound module

An example host with one Ethernet interface and an Ethernet traffic generator directly connected to it. This host model does not contain higher layer protocols (IP, TCP). By default is configured to use half-duplex MAC (CSMA/CD).

EthernetInterface compound module

Ethernet network interface. Complements EtherMAC and EtherEncap with an output queue for QoS and RED support.

Parameters

Name Type Default value Description
dataQueueType string "DropTailQueue"

class that inherits from IOutputQueue (DropTailQueue, EtherQoSQueue, DiffservQueue etc.)

Properties

Name Value Description
display i=block/queue
